The many things.
I let go.
But not.

I love you
Like the sunset.
My covetous eyes
Want you.
My soul freely escorts you
To where you need to shine.

covetous chipmunk,
turgid sunflower seeds;
where are the dry ones hidden!!!??

I strive to become great and not to be poor,
so when the needy comes I would open my door,
and bring corrupt and covetous fellows to the floor.

Alliteration
With every religion…
to share in the blame
Masking out God,
in costumes of shame
Seeking to own
what they can’t understand
A covetous folly
—a heavenly sham

He begets the inferno within
Such impediments
To one's own happiness
Covetous in his own disguise
A condemnation to misery
Constrained to emotional infantilism
All forlorn and empty
He can't attain anything
Other than froth....

Death in comparison,
a covetous dispatch
Jealousy reflected,
its courtiers attack
An emperor left naked,
his crown a vacant throne
Jesters flee the castle
—as envy sits alone

The world is not driven by greed
it’s driven by envy …
Commandment 10 is carved in stone
positioned at the end
Where old injunctions miss their mark
a covetous reminder
Desirous of another’s place
—the devil painted green

Look into the eyes of the suffering
For a moment open your soul to
The riches of you covetous love
Keep you blind from the future
And the loss of your vitality
Be wary of the truths
Unknown to those who create the illusion of comfort
For no man can understand fulfill love
At the sacrifice of another being

Lyric
My covetous nature
Has left you in a state of perturbation
Betraying my diffident manner
As if I have been possessed
Maybe I am
For what agitates you
Torments me endlessly
Like a ghostly presence roaming the earth
In search of peace
I will never find it
Because jealousy is my master
That rules over me

Are you rapacious with your poetry,
avaricious in your verse
Covetous of those words you read,
jealous—maybe worse
Do your thoughts deceive with what you write,
does bad intention rule the day
Those tracks you leave, the trap you’ve set
—with you the final prey

Rhyme
The sanctimonious tabernacle; where the desolated tongues confess.
The covetous, unwed beds are hungry, exuberant anatomies get undressed.
The biased courthouse; where many admissible lies rattle but hardly unfold.
The lewd jail cells are full, innocent bodies, minds, and souls loathly probed.

Prose Poetry
How am I so wounded by you?
Arrows never shoot, but run me through
Beautiful viper poisoning; stares straight, not a skew
I'm glad to be seen by their bite; I'll be its anti-venom, too
Covetous my own thoughts of envy; verdurous thy view
They're green and ravenous, but see me in a form so true
Eyes that sing a siren song; control my affection they do!

Hiding in a lake of tears
lie the dreams of those
whose pale, wan faces
are reflected
in its subtle waters.
On moonlit nights,
when covetous thoughts
weave a silent web of fear
love songs are empty
to the solitary ear.
Uncanny, the billowing shadows
that haunt the souls
of the lost and lonely
whose tears go unnoticed
who surrender to the void.

When the birds are spilling down from the sky
And all the ocean dwellers are floating
Human carelessness and greed will be why
It's the environment we are choking
Everyday we continue provoking
Raping the the planet that keeps us alive
Damage is massive and trivialized
There's no species as covetous as us
A century of shame we symbolize
Always wanting more, it's never enough

Is it a crime
To pry apart rhyme
Stitch lines, unhitched
From native consequence
To warily marry
Unmetered time
By forced remorse
Unrehearsed
In patchwork verse
In my malaise
My daydreams ablaze
I long for eloquence...
to drip, untripped
From my lips
The devil rides
my prideful hide
Chastise with whip and spur
Damning the span
Between who I am
And who I wish I were.

In the heart’s tunnel
lurks a murderer*
conspiring as friend
with human nature
enraged by hatred…
midst bitterness
covetous angst
and greedy wrath
the slayer prowls...
devouring
smiting foe----
killer screams…
“guilty---
I am…
Lord!”
*Mark 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders.

Diminished Hexaverse
The brain is inept at trying to divine
the creative fantasies of a noble,
at times, scheming
mind,
much less probe, from end to start,
the crimson contours of a
generous, at times, covetous
heart.
We can't fully know you and me;
like jigsaw pieces, let us seem,
at times, let us really
be!

to celebrate a beautiful sin
on the green lake
a sequelae starts a covetous lust
of white skulls,
discovering oneself was as exciting
as the fondling of breast
for the first time –
innocent graveside, road burning
stretching to throbbing millions
harvesting endless tears;
inattention of grief
was the punishment of unknown
shredding the veil into bit pieces
the ferocious clawing
tears off the sunset of age.
your jealousy?
bitter screams?

An expedition began years ago,
Devoid of a significant Destination,
Christened LIFE.
Making headway,
Encircled by plenteous acquaintances,
“EXPERIENCE” is the upshot.
Progressing ahead,
Corollary of capability,
Precise judgmental ability
Is the effect of “Experience”
Cautious progression,
In profession and personality;
Sensible Relationships,
Overlooking the covetous,
Dedicated and ingenuous,
Undoubtedly a boulevard to “SUCCESS”
Is this really what we call “LIFE”?
